Background: The University has vendors that wish to support devices on the campus network from off-campus. In order to properly secure and protect the campus network, the University has established a secure remote access system for vendors that have a contractual relationship with the university.

Policy: Vendor access to the Furman University campus network, servers, and devices on the campus network from off-campus, is only available to vendors with a contractual relationship with Furman University, and only with the explicit approval of the Chief Information Officer.

Guidelines:

Vendor remote access to devices on the Furman data network is only available through the Furman secure remote support system.

Information Technology Services will provide terms for Furman network access as a contract addendum to the vendor's contract with the University.

If vendor requires network access for a vendor managed device, vendor may choose to use the Furman network, or cellular data service; vendor services may not be accessible to both. Vendor will be responsible for all cellular data costs and support.

Exceptions to the network access terms must be approved by the Chief Information Officer.
